The Luring is an award‑winning (Best Thriller Feature Motor City International Nightmare Flm Festival) indie psychological thriller about recovered memory, trauma and manipulation. Whyt audiences seem to also love about The Luring is it's midnight movie vibe that unravels narcissism, the power dynamics of dominance and submission, with a pinch of BDSM.
Loosely inspired by the 1957 French short film The Red Balloon, The Luring reimagines childhood innocence through a much darker lens. What begins as a personal quest for clarity soon unravels into something far more sinister.
Garrett returns to his family’s remote vacation home in Vermont, determined to recover a lost memory from his tenth birthday. Diagnosed with dissociative amnesia—a trauma-induced memory loss—he’s unaware of the unspeakable event buried deep in his subconscious.
As the line between nightmare and reality dissolves, Garrett finds himself entangled in a web of lies, psychological control, and twisted desires. The deeper he digs, the more distorted everything becomes—until truth itself begins to collapse.
The Luring is a surreal, slow-burn descent into the mind, culminating in a catastrophic and deeply disturbing climax.
